Intralogistics is a very broad concept within the logistics of each company.
- Therefore, choosing work tools that are of excellent quality makes all the difference when carrying out activities. inside a warehouse. With this equipment, it is possible to handle it efficiently. Knowing that work tools are crucial to the success of activities, it is necessary to know them and handle them efficiently.
For processes within your company to flow efficiently, it is essential to invest in cargo handling equipment so that you can make better use of the physical space in your warehouses, have greater security in your operations and speed up the transportation and storage of products.
The equipment of cargo handling are equipment and machines, manual or automated, used to move intermittent loads over different routes with varying distances and appropriate surfaces and spaces, where the main function is to transport and/or handle.
The choice of the type of equipment to be used for moving cargo must be based on the type of merchandise to be handled and the area available for the ideal allocation of the machinery.
Discover the 4 main products that will optimize your warehouse below:
Stacker crane
The system Stacker crane It is a structure that automatically moves and stores palletized goods (Unit Load) or in boxes (Miniloads), integrated with the WMS (Warehouse Management System) software.
Its operation is carried out using logistics techniques that provide the best use of available space in warehouses, reduce the use of forklifts and reduce storage errors. Combined with automatic handling, it adds a positive cost-benefit ratio for companies.
Its functions allow warehouse entry and exit operations to be carried out through optimized programming of dedicated software, called WCS, which results in reduced operational time, increased productivity and assertiveness within the warehouse, as well as economic positioning.
Satellite Car
The system Satellite Car is a logistics tool that operates in the automated storage of pallets for multiple depths through intelligent procedures.
As it is a fully automated solution, this system feeds and/or removes goods through a process called AS/RS – Automated Storage / Retrieval System.
Where the automatic car moves the pallets in the structure, placing or removing them according to information it receives from the forklift operator or the WMS, as it allows integration with this type of system. It is an excellent alternative to conventional storage systems such as: Drive-In, Dynamic and Push Back.
Mats
Conveyor belts are important equipment that are always present in an intralogistics solution. distribution center, or in simple movements or in the separation of fractional and closed box orders.
They can be used in multi-levels where they combine elements of mezzanines, platforms and Flow racks.
This equipment can optimize processes, taking into account the following factors:
– Minimize travel,
– Grouped separation: multiple orders can be separated as a single order, reducing travel time and being separated (sorted) later with agility in the process,
– Increased productivity,
– High precision (Accuracy),
– Increased competitiveness (reduction in collection costs, greater stock turnover and reduction in waste),
– Orders are separated independently or in parallel in different areas and/or storage/handling equipment, needing to be grouped together later for packaging,
– Products can be moved between different areas, levels and buildings,
– Complete orders need to be sequenced before loading, e.g. sorted by carrier, weight or delivery sequence,
– Operation by cross docking, as in the retail industry, for example.
Pick by light
It is an intuitive system that uses visual and colored indicators, which is quick to learn, and where the operator's hands are kept free and they do not need to handle any equipment. With this technology, picking errors can be practically eliminated, enabling operational gains.
There are two possibilities for using this technology, using the “Person-to-goood” and “Good-to-person” concepts.
– Person-to-Goods station, where the operator moves to the object,
– Goods-to-Person station, where the object moves to the operator.
What differentiates the concepts are the levels of man/hour performance in the separation operation, where an operator can reach 300 and 800 lines per man/hour.
